One of my most common behind-the-scenes aspects of a functional marketing strategy is the automation of your process. Marketing automation is the set of rules you put in place to be sure that your strategy and process are being followed.
For example, if you would like to send out a newsletter to your potential customers, you will need to use automation to smooth out the process. A couple of parts that will need automation to be successful are:
- Welcome Email: If you would like your new sign-ups to get an automated welcome email, then you would set that up in automation software.
- Newsletter List: If you would like your newsletter sign-ups to get automatically added to your mailing list, you will need to set that up with automation software.
